For those that like to visit Churches this is a must see in the village on the outskirts of Market Harborough C 13 century it has great character and is cared for with well kept grounds and the fabric of the building shows this to good effect. The church organ is grand and many events take place. It also has a lady in charge of the proceedings.

Leicester is privileged to have one of the best-preserved timber framed halls in the country dating back 600 years. The Guildhall is a historic building and the oldest building still in use in the city. It was Leicester’s first police station and between 1876 and the 1900’s and saw many unsavoury characters pass through its doors. The Great Hall itself was built in about 1390 as a meeting place for the Guild of Corpus Christi (a small but powerful group of businessmen and gentry) and it’s also believed that Shakespeare performed here during Tudor times. Today, the Guildhall is best known as an excellent performance venue, attracting acts from across the country. It’s also known as a museum where visitors can step back in time and come face to face with Crankie Gemmie and Emma Smith, two of Leicester's notorious pick-pockets who can be found lurking in the Victorian police cells. The museum is also home to the Medieval Leicester galleries and The White Rose Cafe.

This guildhall was interesting and had many original features from the time of use. The mayor's room was amazing. The little signs regarding not touching anything were even very funny. This was a free admission and even had activity sheets for children to add it. The old hall was lovely too and to think it was in use until the 20s shows the longterm use of the building. Fantastic little museum.

Due to a major refurbishment we will not be open during 2018. Work starts after Easter and should be finished by September. Remembrance Sunday will be as normal.

Really interesting history inside mainly focused on the two world wars. The money you pay to get in goes towards its upkeep. I chatted to a really interesting veteran who really knew his stuff and was super friendly. Worth a visit if you're in loughborough.

Came to the cathedral to see the final resting place of Richard 111, his crypt is free to view by the public, it a lovely setting in a beautiful cathedral, there are viewing videos to show the finding, and manufacturing of the granite tomb, well worth seeing, although we didn't pay to go into the visitors centre because we live close to Bosworth and have been several times.
